I've always loved any of these colors. I had a Sherwood strat for a while but always wanted a burgundy mist Tele. I never liked sunburst anything. I think it reminds me of the awful, unplayable Kent I had as a teenager. :)

I feel like slanting is the reason to play lap steel. Exactly! I get kind of bored with pedal steel. I've sold my PSG and love playing lap steel more than I ever did pedal steel. To me, it's more of a challenge. The slants are fun and when you get them down they can add more expression than the mas...

I really enjoy your posts, Mike. Thanks for sharing your creative process and talent.You made me realize that non pedal steel is capable of any kind of music. I gave up pedals completely about three years ago and am having more fun than ever! You, and others here, are a great inspiration.
